The reason I was asking is because some isp's filter, block or shape p2p programs. Lack of search results in one of the symptoms.

Try an experiment, try downloading a magnet link here & tell us what happens: http://www.magnetmix.com/video.shtml

If you see the brick wall then it means you have a firewall problem. It may either be due to your software firewall (not configured to allow LW access) or it may be a modem/router with an internal NAT firewall. This may be your problem.

What brand & model of modem/router do you have?

What software firewalls do you have?

I have a belkin F5D7230-4.

I dont know of any software firewalls.

I have been using Limewire for sometime now and it worked like a charm. The problem I described above started pretty much out of the blue. One day I was able to download files and then all of a sudden I wasnt able to. I am not aware of any changes I made that would cause this. I have tried unistalling Limewroe and reinstalling it many times with no results.

Im stumped!

Whenever I click on a link in the http://www.magnetmix.com/video.shtml it downloads in Limewire, but I stil cant search.
